You acknowledge and agree that the authorization to charge your credit card for the subscription or donation shall automatically transfer to any successors or assigns of Reimagine Gender or the Processor, for a substantially similar subscription.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION 

Please read this section carefully. It affects your rights.

Summary:

Most disputes can be resolved informally. If you have a concern, please contact us. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your concern to your satisfaction (or if we haven’t been able to resolve a dispute that we have with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. It uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Any arbitration will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Whether to agree to arbitration is an important decision, and in making it you should not rely solely on the information in this agreement. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by following the instructions below.  

Arbitration Agreement:

(1) We and you agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between us. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and expressly includes claims brought under any statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory. It includes, but is not limited to:

  • Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory;
  • Claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);
  • Claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you aren't a member of a certified class; and
  • Claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

References to "you", "we", and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services under this or prior agreements between us. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if your claims are within that court’s jurisdiction and are pending only in that court. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement. 

(2) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute("Notice"). The Notice to us should be addressed to: 1160 Brickyard Cove #200 Richmond, CA 94801 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If we and you don't reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by us or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled.  

(3) The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures, and when applicable the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 800.778.7879. 

The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision. Unless we and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Contra Costa County, California. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. 

(4) The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. 

(5) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) during the term of these Terms of Use, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you're agreeing that you'll arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with this provision.

(6) HOW TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending a letter to the Notice Address referenced above, and providing each of the following pieces of information: (a) your full name; (b) your address; (c) your phone number; (d) the URL where you found this agreement; and (e) a clear statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision. This opt-out notice must be emailed no later than 30 days after the date you first accept these Terms of Use.

General Terms

Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the whole legal agreement between you and Reimagine Gender. It governs your use of the Service and completely replaces any prior agreements between you and Reimagine Gender with respect to the Service.

Governing Law. All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and of the State of California, without giving effect to its choice or conflict of law provisions or rules. Any legal suit, action, or proceeding not subject to arbitration and arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of California, in each case located in Contra Costa County. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

Statute of Limitations. You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim you may have under this Agreement must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is forever barred.

Severability of Terms; Non-waiver of Terms; Assignment. If any portion of the Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be stricken and the remainder of the Agreement enforced as written. If Reimagine Gender does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy including those contained in the Agreement or arising under applicable law, this will not be taken to be a formal waiver or relinquishment of our rights. Reimagine Gender may assign, sublicense, or delegate all rights and obligations under the Agreement, fully or partially.

Notices. Reimagine Gender may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Agreement, by email, regular mail, or postings to the Service.
